The Border Terrier has long been renowned for his gameness, hardiness, and exceptional working ability. While he remains essentially a working terrier, his size, intelligence, and rugged good looks are making him increasingly popular in the show ring and in the home as a family pet. Topics covered include history and purpose of the breed; breed standards; care, management, and training; showing and judging; breeding, pregnancy, and whelping; and ailments and health.

For show dogs,

This review is from: Border Terriers: An Owner's Companion (Hardcover)
The misleading title suggests that this is a book for anyone who owns a border terrier, but it is primarily aimed at those interested in competitions. It includes an extensive dscription and history of borders which breeders might find useful, but this is not a book for owners of companion dogs.

This review is from: Border Terriers: An Owner's Companion (Paperback)
This book was good for the history of the breed and the breed standard; however, it was not very helpful for me as an American show-dog owner since it's a British book. Also, the drawings showing various faults were not very helpful.
